Lace in Progress and Lace Returning

I'm actually making progress...

See.... several repeats of that edging:

But I also got a surprise in the mail.

Ages ago, I knit the Weekender Shawl for Crystal Palace Yarns. They've used it at shows and such to show off their yummy Panda Silk yarn. It came home! It's been well over a year (I'd almost given up hope on seeing he dear thing again).

I took it out last night to a dinner dance. Outside, it was hot and sticky and yucky. Thus, the venue was air conditioned to death. I wore the shawl happily until the dancing started.

And the wonderful folks at CPY also sent a thank you/apology for taking so long present!

Yummy new yarn to play with!

and ..

...yes..

AND!!!)

And oddly, I never realized that their colors go together until I saw these two pictures next to each other.
